Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 223 Finding (3)
The street was empty, and Mu Yutang and An Mofeng searched for a long time, but they didn't see many people, let alone Xiao Qingyu.

When the fiery red sun rose in the eastern sky, Mu Yutang lowered her eyelids, concealing the disappointment in her eyes, and went to King Qi's Mansion and Zhen Guohou's Mansion to inquire, and all the answers she got were: Xiao Qingyu didn't come back!
Hot spring villa, other courtyards in the suburbs, she searched all the places where Xiao Qingyu might go, but she didn't find the slightest trace of Xiao Qingyu. He disappeared without a trace overnight, as if he had never existed before .

Mu Yutang searched every day, and ran all over the large and small places around the capital, but found no trace of him. Looking at the boundless sky, her eyes of hope gradually dimmed and became confused. Where would Xiao Qingyu go?
In the dead of night, Mu Yutang always felt that someone was taking good care of her by her side. When she opened her eyes, she could only see the emptiness of the room. Occasionally, she would see Clumsy lying on the bedside table, looking at her with round eyes. Meowing, the voice is bitter, and the heart is sad!
Mu Yutang touched its small head, a helpless smile appeared in its eyes, you are also thinking about Xiao Qingyu, but we don't know where he is.

Many days of searching failed, and Mu Yutang felt that Xiao Qingyu might not be in the capital anymore, nor would he go out every day. An Mofeng went to the small building to deal with the trivial matters of Mengyao Academy, while she lived in the Xuechen Building and sat in Xiao Qingyu's room. Sitting on the chair, looking at the blue sky outside the window, wondering where Xiao Qingyu might be.

Behind her, a group of snow-white cubs jumped up and down, jumping left and right very happily, suddenly, it hit somewhere, and there was a "bang", a large pile of books, calligraphy and paintings were smashed Come down and smash it to the bottom.

"Meow!" Benben's cry was sad and weak, and his little body was arching and arching vigorously, arching and arching, but it couldn't come out.

Mu Yutang turned around, looked at the mess on the ground, sighed helplessly, walked over, squatted down, took away books, and rescued Benben.

The clumsy little body was in great pain from being smashed, and his snow-white hair was a little disheveled. He looked at Mu Yutang with a low whine, and his pitiful gaze made people feel unbearable to blame.

Mu Yutang tapped it on the head, and reprimanded: "I will jump again after seeing clearly, if you dare to mess up this place again, you will be punished and not allowed to eat for a day!"

"Meow!" After getting into trouble and not being punished, Benben's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the pain, and smiled at Mu Yutang as a flattery.

Mu Yutang stared at the sky speechlessly, this stupid cat, who got into trouble and promptly admitted his mistake, and his attitude was so good that you had to deal with it leniently, I really don't know how Xiao Qingyu raised it.

Smoothing the stupid white hair, Mu Yutang put it on the cushion, and carefully tidied up the mess. The books, calligraphy and paintings here are all Xiao Qingyu's favorite, and they must not be damaged.

Su picked up the book with his hand, but saw a page falling from it. The page was folded neatly, and it could be seen that the words written on it did not seem to be poems.

If you don’t write poems on the paper in the poetry collection, what will you write?
She opened the paper in confusion, and looked at the horizontal and vertical lines, her pupils froze suddenly. This is... the blueprint for building a house!

The blueprints of ancient houses are different from those of modern ones. Mu Yutang has seen many of them from Mu Zhen, and at a glance she can recognize that it is a blueprint of a small courtyard. Moreover, this small courtyard only has a living room, a main room, two side rooms, and a small courtyard. There are no walls or doors in each kitchen, like a cabin in the woods built in the mountains.

Mu Yutang did not find Xiao Qingyu in Prince Qi's Mansion and Zhen Guohou's Mansion. She also carefully checked the huts in the mountains and forests. They were either empty and unoccupied, or strangers lived there. Find anything related to Xiao Qingyu.

The ink on the drawing is quite bright, and it was only recently constructed. There are also green trees and flowing water on the front, back, left, and right sides of the hut. It should be the original trees and water in that place. , Xiao Qingyu turned an unknown place into a forest.

No wonder she hasn't found anyone after searching for so long. Xiao Qingyu doesn't like living in ready-made houses, but likes to build the environment by himself.

"Benben, thank you very much!" Mu Yutang happily rubbed Cunben's little head. Under its bewildered eyes, she ran out of Xuechen Tower with the blueprint. If her guess is correct, this time Xiao Qingyu must be found.

The towering trees are the most poetic and picturesque. The trees near the hut cannot be planted but moved directly. The hut is not far from the big forest. The water flow in front of the house needs to be pulled from a place with water. It is not far from the creek or lake. It is not difficult to find places with these characteristics.

Holding the blueprint, Mu Yutang compared the above environment, walked slowly through the woods, and came to a hut. The hut was made of green bamboo, quiet and elegant, just like the one on the blueprint. There was a circle in the courtyard. A shaped stone table surrounded by four stone benches, somewhat similar to the tables and chairs in front of Xuechen Building.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Mu Yutang wasn't sure if she had found the right place, and she didn't rush in, so she stood not far away and asked softly!

The room was quiet, and the answer to her was silence, besides silence.

Is no one here?Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows, walked slowly to the front of the house, and knocked lightly on the door. No, the door was unlocked. When she knocked, the door creaked open, and the fresh bamboo fragrance came over her face, making people feel refreshed , she looked carefully to make sure there was no one inside, so she walked in lightly.

This is a study room. The shelves are filled with old and new books. Mu Yutang took a quick look. There are all kinds of books in astronomy, geography, and medicine. With great interest, he looked elsewhere casually. There was a desk in front of the window with a ruler, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

A picture scroll is spread on the top. On the picture, a young woman wearing a sky-blue Xiang skirt is standing under the viburnum tree. The pink viburnum petals are fluttering down and sprinkled all over her body. The woman has a bright smile Mu Yutang was very familiar with the delicate eyebrows and eyes. After staring carefully for a moment, her snowy eyes suddenly narrowed. This is... her!

Mu Yutang picked up the painting scroll with trembling little hands. The smooth strokes and elegant style of painting were impressively drawn by Xiao Qingyu. Each stroke was so serious and careful, as if she had poured all her emotions into it. The painting was lifelike and vivid. .

"Ding Dang!" The slight sound woke Mu Yutang who was in shock. There was something pressing on the painting. She picked up the painting, but the object rolled down. Others used a ruler or inkstone to press calligraphy and painting. What did Xiao Qingyu use to press?
She lowered her head and saw a small plum blossom hairpin, her pupils constricted suddenly. The plum blossom hairpins were originally a pair. After she first visited Mengyao Academy, one of them disappeared. She thought it was accidentally lost, but she didn't care. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyu picked it up, and kept it with him until now.

The calm heartstrings were suddenly twitched by something. Mu Yutang's cold eyes were misty. She put down the scroll and ran out of the bamboo house. The ink was new and not dry yet. Xiao Qingyu was definitely nearby and did not go far !
